Welcome Children and Families!
Our children's library and services are designed for children from birth to age twelve and their caregivers. The Jennifer Adham Memorial Children's Library is located on the lower level of the library and houses our juvenile borrowing collections, juvenile reference materials, Community Meeting Room, and restrooms.
